[Bug 1224404] Re: OSX: OpenLP does not start without phonon
This affects me. I wanted to start contributing to OpenLP last December,
but I wanted to install the dependencies using homebrew, rather than
macports. Initially, I found that homebrew didn't have Python 3 versions
for many dependencies, so I contributed some patches to homebrew to
enable Python 3 support for pyqt, and a few other packages. However,
although homebrew qt has phonon support, for some reason homebrew pyqt
can't see it. Currently, I can install all required dependencies through
homebrew and pip, but I can't get phonon to work.
Ideally, homebrew would fix phonon support upstream, but considering
that phonon will be replaced in Qt5, it might be a good time to think
about replacing phonon.
Another option would be to create an alternative drop-in implementation
which could be optionally activated if phonon is not found. It could use
alternative Python media libraries.
The soonest I can look into this is the July holidays, but at the moment
it's the only issue stopping me from launching the dev version of OpenLP
at the moment.

Title:
OSX: OpenLP does not start without phonon
Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
New
Bug description:
There are some issues on osx to get phonon compiled properly and testers/developers might not have it.
Phonon is an optional media backaned and I think that openlp should be able to start without that.
Reproduce:
- install python3 openlp dependencies on osx (as described in the wiki)
- run current trunk with python3 and you will get traceback
